About MeIn New York McBey's dealer hired a tug and took him on a sightseeing tour along the Hudson and East Rivers and around Goreman's Island. It was an unforgettable experience and many years later James was to write "New York is just as wonderful to me as the first time I set eyes on it, and the most sketchable sections are …on the waterfront"
